Bizarre and Shocking Claims against SS Rajamouli!
In a suicide note, Uppalapati Srinivasa Rao, a close friend and technician, accused him of causing significant emotional and professional harm.
SS Rajamouli, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Baahubali and RRR, is caught in a troubling controversy today after Uppalapati Srinivasa Rao, a former friend and technician, accused him of causing significant emotional and professional harm. In a suicide note and video that surfaced earlier today, Srinivasa Rao claimed Rajamouli inflicted severe mental distress, ruined his career, and drove him to the brink of suicide.
He claimed “India’s number one director, SS Rajamouli and Rama Rajamouli, are the reason for my suicide. You might think I am doing this for publicity, but this is my final letter. Everyone from MM Keeravaani to Chandrasekhar Yeleti and Hanu Raghavapudi knows how close I have been to Rajamouli for years now. I never thought a woman could come between us.”
“He asked me to sacrifice my love for her, and while I didn’t agree at first, I did later on. He believed I’d told people about this, and he began torturing me after we got into an argument. We worked together till Yamadonga, but he ruined my life after that. He tortured me so much since he became a big shot. I am 55 years old and have lived a single life,” he alleged, asking the police to do a lie detector test.
The technician’s note painted a grim picture, stating that Rajamouli’s actions left him with no choice but to contemplate ending his life. It remains unclear whether Srinivasa Rao has acted on these threats or if the note reflects an earlier moment of despair. The accusations have sparked intense reactions, with some calling for deeper scrutiny into the filmmaker’s conduct, though no official investigation has been confirmed as of now.
At the same time, Rajamouli continues work on his upcoming film SSMB29, starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra, which has been generating anticipation among fans. However, this personal controversy now looms large over his professional endeavors. As of now, Rajamouli has not publicly addressed the allegations, leaving the situation unresolved and open to speculation.
